Little banyan Fig. by Peter Woosley
Publicado: 11 Sep 2011 13:32
This is a small Port Jackson Fig tree that was originally about 5 or 6 strapped together to fuse over time. They have only ever been continually cut back when they got out of hand.
The tree is about 20cm (8" tall). The pot is over sized for now but i do have a beautiful little pot for it to go into later on, maybe in a year or two when it has developed more
This is the second tree. It has been allowed to grow freely the last 12 months to get some vigor back. That worked and now it has been cut back and wired. This one is a Port Jackson fig and really puts out aerial roots profusely. I have taken them off for now but will selectively grow some from now on.
The game plan now is to cut it back further (to new shoots) in December/January, wire the new branchlets and build on ramification..
Better picture of this one....didnt realize but i forgot to crop it and brighten it up a bit.
